Cloud information storage services are increasingly popular among individuals and companies, both in their free versions, with limited capacity, and in their paid versions, with more storage space.

To give just one data point, in 2020, one of the most popular cloud computing companies, which is Dropbox, announced that 700 million users were registered on its platform. In addition, more than 200,000 companies were paying for its information storage and internal collaboration service. 

But Dropbox is just one of thousands of cases in the global market. Over the last 2 years, the computer storage service has recorded accelerated growth, and this is the result of the digitalization and innovation process that companies began because of the COVID-19 crisis.  

Now, while it is true that this service has seen a significant surge in demand, there are still many people and business owners who do not know what “having a space in the cloud” is and the benefits it can bring to their business projects.  

So, if you want to clear up some doubts, we invite you to keep reading to learn the details.

Storing in the cloud is…

Having a space for safekeeping and storing information on the internet that lets you access it from anywhere in the world, through different electronic devices, and without having to keep physical equipment in your office or home. 

In addition, this type of service facilitates collaborative work between teams and offers security protocols that prevent information leaks by almost 100%. 

In the market, as we mentioned in the previous paragraphs, there are many companies that offer these services, both in free and paid versions; the most popular being Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega, ADrive, Amazon Cloud Drive, among others.

        Benefits for your business

        It is important to keep in mind that the needs of a user are not the same as those of a business, so the latter need a more specialized service, with greater capacity and performance. 

        This translates into paid services designed specifically for business requirements in terms of safeguarding larger amounts of data and stronger security measures.

        Once this point is clear, let’s look at the benefits of having a cloud storage system: 

        1. You have information instantly:
        An internet connection is the only requirement to access your business files.

        2.You can access from any device:
        You can use anything from a desktop computer to smartphones to check any document.

        3.You save on investing in new equipment:
        You will not have to spend money on buying hard drives and other electronic equipment to host the information. 

        4. You reduce the chances of information leaks and loss.
        Security will depend on the type of services you hire: be it encryption, backup services, FTP access, among others. 

        5. You speed up the digitalization process of your business.
        It allows your company to adapt quickly to unforeseen situations and be more proactive in improving and offering its services.

        Investing in a computer storage service is one of the first steps for a company that wants to travel the path of digital transformation, since it is what makes it possible, in practical terms, for the business and production model to be renewed and adjusted to the new realities of the environment.
